Teaching Assistance Course: Dialogues on Biotechnology
The Institute for Didactics of Biology offers a course on „Dialogues on Biotechnology: Ethics and Experiments in the Genetic
Lab“ from April 2017. The course will take place Thursdays during the summer semester. The seminar provides space for a
detailed discussion on the public debate about modern biotechnologies and intuitive judgments about genetic engineering.
This seminar also offers the opportunity to supervise and teach school classes. Participating PhD students receive 1.5 CP as
Teaching Assistance within the RIGeL Curriculum. For more information on the course please see the RIGeL Event Calendar.
